If the orange and black combination of the Walkman phone has already bored you, then it’s probably time to get another dose of visual pleasure from the house of Sony Ericsson, with its new release: the Sony Ericsson S500i. The phone comes with a unique aesthetic appeal, brought to life by its clever lighting effects, a theme apparently inspired by Nordic light. The Sony Ericsson S500i comes in two color combinations: mystery green and spring yellow. This color scheme also screams about the love of nature in the Sony Ericsson S500i.

Sony Ericsson S500i comes with three themes available for the users. These are clarity, constant change, and day and night. Among all, the one with the most compelling characteristics is the subject of constant evolution. Here, animated wallpapers and illuminated color menus keep changing with time and seasons. For example, during the day, the screen displays a floral wallpaper illuminated by yellow rays with randomly appearing colored butterflies; while at night, the same theme shows fireflies flying randomly.

Also, the wallpaper changes every month to match the seasons with different color themes. It seems that the overall design of the phone has been done in a way that allows the phone to blend in with the surroundings. And to make the pleasure of the Sony Ericsson S500i even more exclusive, the phone themes have been designed to be exclusively compatible with the phones.

In terms of features, the competition from the Sony Ericsson S500i is rather less. It has a basic 2 MP camera and a decent music player (supporting audio formats like MP3, AAC and AAC+, E-AAC+, WAV, WMA and m4a). The internal memory of this phone is around 12 MB and users are provided with Memory Stick Micro card slot for more storage capacity. The Sony Ericsson S500i is capable of up to 9 hours of talk time and 15.4 days of standby time.
